What can I say?

I got this game for 10 bucks, and I've gotten hundreds of hours of gameplay out of it. I'd been playing civ 4 way past it's prime, and it was really refreshing to jump to the "newer" version. With all the DLC, Civ pretty much never gets boring. Grab it while it's on sale; it's a great deal.

This game is great!!

It's definately dated, but it's still a lot of fun. The combat can be frustrating at times, since the controls are bulky (and the autosaves are sparse, so when you die it's pretty terrible), but my desire to play through the story won over all the frustration.

Nostalgia Overdrive

I get so many flashbacks playing this game, and it's great!! If you've played Sims 3 or 4 but not 2, it's probably gonna be too dated to enjoy, but as someone who's played since the beginning, it's a great dose of nostalgia. It was also exciting to play University, since that was the one expansion I never had back in the day. It's disappointing, however, that this pack doesn't include (and never will, acording to Aspyr) Freetime or Apartment life, which included a lot of fundemental game improvements (like ceilings) that the game feels lacking without.

Adds a lot of interesting mechanics

The interactions with china are really fun and interesting. The new religion and cultures in the Tibetan region are neat, Taoist is really cool. The new CBs make the early game a little faster and I actually quite like how they become not viable as you get larger.
